ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
standard error= \(\large \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{25}} = 2\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
for 95 % confidence interval you would take two standard errors
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for 95% CI the z* is 1.960
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes multiply your standard error wid that

So i dont use [ME= z* (\mu \div \sigma)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 3.92
is that my answer?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, you can use sample mean since you dont have the population mean availabble
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you help me with another problem please
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
however thats not ur answer, wait a sec

no it was correct. i got a check mark by it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
3.92 is simply \(z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
right ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
wow ! ok then we're good :)
are you doing the coursera course ha ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yeah we can do that :)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
but lemme take a look at the question.. .this does look similar to the previous one... again we're computing ME right ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
standard err = \(\large \frac{2.25}{\sqrt{10}}\)
ME = \(1.96 \times \frac{2.25}{\sqrt{10}}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you got that ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now i see it.
thank you so much

would you use the same formula is you were supposed to find "n"
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes you can use...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large 1 = z^{*}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
plug and chug given values

\(\large 1 = 1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\)
you can solve n
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got it right
but the 2nd question i asked was wrong
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
oh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the ME= 1.96(2.25/sqrt 10)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
that one it says wrong is it ?

wait hold
OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the other one right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Did I calculate it wrong?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, we calculated it wrong :
try this : 0.690
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you explain to me how did you got that number

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
we made a blunder, we plugged in mean incorrectly instead of standard deviation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its still wrong :(
OpenStudy (beccaboo333):
Nothing he says is wrong... EVER
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
ack... lol im also learning statistics i can be wrong :)
OpenStudy (beccaboo333):
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
